"If you're interested in an additional sixty dollars, flag down a test associate and let 'em know. You could walk out of here with a hundred and twenty weighing down your bindle if you let us take you apart, put some science stuff in you, then put you back together good as new."

Sophie tossed and turned in her bed. She could feel something-actually, a lot of somethings crawling under her skin and through her veins. They dug into her bones, twisted her muscles, and remodeled her into a being that could only be possible where the impossible was easy.

"You saw what your father was…" GLaDOS said, her cruel voice haunting Sophie's dreams, just as it did her mother's. "What does that make you?"

Ok, disclaimer time:

I did not come up with the name Sophie, it came from a Blue Sky story over on AO3 called "Ready or Not". My Sophie looks different, but that's where I got the name.

The name Pluot comes from "Portal 3", a hilarious Portal comic from DeviantArt, it's not very kid friendly though.

The idea of Breen becoming an Advisor Grub came from a joke story by one of Valve's writers, it's probably the closest thing we'll ever have to Half Life 3.

Last but not least, Blue Sky is owned by Wafflestories.
